Preparation

• In a bowl, combine the tempeh cubes, shoyu, rice vinegar and garlic. Add some filtered water, just enough to cover the tempeh.
• Cover with a lid or kitchen foil or cling film and place in the fridge. Leave to marinate for 8-12 hours.
• When the tempeh is ready to be cooked, remove the cubes from the marinade (which can be used once more to marinate some extra tempeh).
• Heat a frying pan or wok over a high heat and add the olive oil, shoyu and water.
• Stir in the tempeh cubes and sauté for a couple of minutes or until the oil, shoyu and water have been absorbed.
• Add the raisins and the rosemary, toss and remove from the heat. Let cool slightly.
• In the meantime, place the red cabbage strips in a salad bowl, add the olive oil, the apple vinegar and the salt and toss. Add the rosemary-raisin-tempeh cubes, toss again and serve.
